I agree that counting cocoons may be difficult to be cost-effective for the producer. Such a great idea to just know what your worms are capable of producing and sell the whole bin minus the breeders! I hope that latest hurricane steers clear of your location, Samantha! Stay safe. ~ Sandra

What happens when you don't separate the red wiggler from the cocoonsin a 5 gal pale ty
@MemesWorms5 ай бұрын
They will hatch as long as they have enough room. If not they will stay dormant until they do.

Red wiggler worms (Eisenia fetida), commonly used in vermicomposting, produce cocoons from which baby worms hatch. Each cocoon typically yields between 2 to 5 baby worms. The number can vary based on environmental conditions and the health of the worm population. The cocoons take approximately 3 weeks to hatch, depending on factors such as temperature and humidity.

How long, on the average, does it take a cocoon to become an inch long wiggler?
@MemesWorms5 ай бұрын
30 to 60 days after hatching

@@MemesWorms Thank you! I 1st bought worms from you about 18 mos ago and have many more of them that have grown a great deal and laid many cocoons. Love this hobby with benefits 😉

So we dont need the actual worms, so cocoons are enough or the bedding itself

@princeindoorandoutdoorplan3003 Right. Red wiggler worms (Eisenia fetida), commonly used in vermicomposting, produce cocoons from which baby worms hatch. Each cocoon typically yields between 2 to 5 baby worms. The number can vary based on environmental conditions and the health of the worm population. The cocoons take approximately 3 weeks to hatch, depending on factors such as temperature and humidity. They can also be shipped in most all climates as the cocoons are more resilent in shipping than worms! It's a great way to get started!
